Chapter 555 Men Become Bad when They Have Money
It's still the Ministry of Magic in London, and it's still the ministry's office, but this time the twins have moved from the minister's office to an office next to the minister's office.
Before coming in, the twins were still hesitant. Although they heard Laura's familiar voice, they did not completely let go of their vigilance. But the thoughts in their hearts still made them follow the strange-looking witch in.
As soon as they entered the door, the witch's appearance changed and turned into the Laura they were familiar with, and the two brothers lowered their guard.
The change in Lola's face was not Polyjuice Potion or a Metamorphosis Magus, but a simple deception.
It's not a very clever technique, and people with high magic power can easily see through it. If it's just to fool Ministry of Magic employees, this tactic will work.
The twins had a lot of questions in their minds, but Laura didn't mean to explain anything, and kept walking inward with the two brothers. After opening another door, Fred and George saw Ada, whom they had not seen for a long time.
Wearing a long black dress with blooming roses embroidered with gold thread, and her long golden hair hanging softly on the back of her head, Ada stood in front of the window, enjoying the virtual sunshine in the ministry.
"Get out, I really don't want to see you now, Miss Laura Fournier." Ada mumbled, "My mind is not broad enough to tolerate you..."
As she spoke, Ada turned around, and then she saw the twins behind Laura and their poor taste in magenta wizard robes. With red clothes and red hair, Fred and George's aesthetic seems to have gone a little off during Ada's absence.
"Then let me go. After all, I have a broad mind." Laura said. She liked teasing Ada very much and watching Ada look so angry. This was her unique way of taking care of Ada.
The eyesore left, leaving only Ada and the twins in the house. There was nothing relatively silent, Ada could often see the twins, only Fred and George could not see her.
Ada walked up to the twins, tutting her tongue and circling them, complaining about their increasingly erratic aesthetics, from the green dragon leather jacket to this magenta robe.
It wasn't until the twins couldn't bear it any longer that Ada finally shut up and gave the two brothers the right to ask questions.
Fred and George were responsible for asking, and Ada was responsible for answering, starting from her arrest, to Mr. Weasley becoming the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department, and to today's order.
The Order of the Defense Trio had nothing to do with Ada, and although she lived in the Ministry of Magic, she did not intervene in all aspects of Thicknesse's affairs. Thicknesse was still responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Ministry of Magic, and Ada had no interest or time to intervene.
"During those days when you were playing with fire, mom was very worried about you." Fred said, "She secretly cried several times."
Ada pursed her lips and did not answer. Her sudden silence was noticed by George, who patted the back of Fred's hand and told his twin brother to change the topic and stop talking about this.
Fred took a breath, slapped his knees with both hands, and said: "Tell me, do you have any plans? Don't abandon our brothers again, we want to do our best to help you. I saw your story in the newspaper News, hearing news about you from other people’s mouths is something we are not used to.”
The two brothers had sincere expressions and sincere voices. They really wanted to stay with Ada and help her share the burden. Habits are sometimes terrible things, and they can affect your life all the time.
Ada said nothing and kept twirling her green-white fingers.
Why doesn't she want her best friend to be by her side and face many difficulties together? But Ada doesn't want to drag the twins into danger because of her selfish desires. The road she is going to take is destined to be full of bloodshed. The closer she gets, the closer she is to danger.
Of the two brothers, George was more thoughtful, and he saw Ada's dilemma.
George said: "Ada, why do you want to make your own decisions? Why don't you let us decide where we are? Don't you think your current behavior and thoughts...are too overbearing?"
Ada looked up at the twins, and the speed of twirling her fingers slowed down.
Fred continued: "There is also the matter of dad. Without your permission, how could Thicknesse promote dad or mention him to the position of director all at once? He has already stood behind you, are there still two of us left?"
"I admit that what I did was a bit selfish," Ada said, "but there is nothing I can do about it..."
Fred interrupted Ada immediately and said angrily: "You don't think of us as children too! You are only one year older than us, no, you are less than one year old!"
He pointed to the robe he was wearing and continued: "Look at this robe, the brand! It's very expensive!"
"But it's really ugly..." Ada muttered, "It's so ugly that you can't even see it."
Fred's anger was suddenly choked back. He sat back on the sofa angrily, crossed his arms and looked at Ada, his face full of: I'm angry, very angry, the kind that can't be coaxed.
"We are not discussing with you whether the robe is ugly or not!"
That's the good thing about twins, when one person puts out the fire, there's another person who can step up. Fred choked, and George took the baton and began to denounce Ada's arbitrary actions.
"I heard Harry talk about the Department of Mysteries, and I also heard Ron and Ginny talk about it." George continued, "You have never thought about why six people appeared in the Department of Mysteries instead of Harry. Does it benefit anyone?"
Without giving Ada a chance to speak, George continued: "That's because they don't want Harry to be alone and can't bear to see him face danger alone. They have only known each other for a few years, and we have known each other for how long, but they can't bear it. Can we bear it? Or is it that the relationship between the three of us is not as good as our brothers think? "
These words were very serious. If the tone were more severe, it would be like a scene of severe severance.
Ada was silent again. She knew better than the twins what happened that night in the Department of Mysteries. Although Ada was angry with Ron and scolded him a few times, she knew that if she had been replaced by Ron, she would have followed Harry to the Ministry of Magic without hesitation.
"I know, I will think about it." Ada said softly, and her words felt a bit perfunctory.
The twins didn't think so. The two brothers didn't think Ada was delaying. In fact, Ada had already let go of this consideration. If she said she would consider it, she would definitely consider it carefully.
Fred and George did not continue to increase their stakes. Anyway, their brothers had already decided that since they knew that Ada was hiding in the Ministry of Magic, they would never let her slip away again.
"By the way, have you had any contact with your cousin named Hector recently?" Fred suddenly asked, remembering something.
"No, what's wrong?" Ada didn't understand what Fred suddenly asked what Hector was doing, and gave a confused answer.
Fred nodded and said, "There is an extra person in the family recently. It's not Harry or Hermione. Guess who it is?"
"Fleur Delacour," Ada said, "I can't think of anyone else."
Fred first mentioned Héctor, and then asked the question. The answer was naturally the person Héctor asked for.
"Boring." Fred leaned on the sofa dejectedly. "Bill is engaged to Miss Delacour, which means we have an additional sister-in-law, a sister-in-law who is not very pleasant."
George continued: "Everyone in the family doesn't like her very much, except Bill...oh, yes, and Ron. But it's enough that Bill likes her. After all, it's the two of them who are getting married, not us."
Although the twins were talking about Weasley's family affairs, which was a happy event, Ada felt that the two people's thoughts were not simple, and they were using Bill and Fleur's marriage to insinuate her.
Marriage is a matter between Bill and Fleur. Whether the twins continue to stand by Ada's side is a matter between the three of them. It cannot be decided by Ada alone.
Ada tilted her head and looked at the twins, thinking: Men become bad when they are rich.
